We studied the frequency adverbs and verbs how they were used and what their structures were in positive, negative and questions and we also learned about their rules

Always

Usually

Normally

To ask questions, make it of frequencies, usually use How Often, for example:

How often do you watch films?

How often does he play tennis?

How often do the trains arrive late?

Verbo to be

In this case, the frequency adverb is placed after the verb "to be" or "to be". For example: "She is always happy."

Sentences in negative

Special cases: Negative sentences: In negative sentences, the frequency adverb can come after the auxiliary verb, but before the main verb.

For example: "She doesn't always come on time."
